Advanced optics that provide clear vision at multiple distances: near, intermediate, and far.
Provides a continuous range of high-quality vision, particularly effective for intermediate and distance tasks.
The office staff is extremely friendly, helpful and professional. The testing was thorough with a lovely professional team member. I met with the doctor and he performed additional testing. He was pleasant, professional and honest. I had been extremely scared to schedule cataract surgery but I am now totally comfortable proceeding with this needed procedure and totally trust the doctor.
Receptionist was attentive and friendly. She even came out into the waiting room to assist patients. I was called for my appointment quickly and immediately given a couple eye tests. Then Dr. Croley examined my eyes, compared the results to the last visit and explained the differences. He did a thorough exam and answered my questions. I am extremely pleased with his knowledge, insight and care of his patients.
Staff and Assistant was so kind and patient with my elderly father in law. I was very pleased with how thorough and comfortable they made my father-in-law feel during his examination. I highly recommend!!
I never feel like just another # at this office. The girls are great and Dr Croley is to the point, professional and caring never rushing through but also not wasting your time. His office gets you in quick when you need to be seen. I have referred several people. The six years I have lived in Florida this is the only medical office, Dr., staff that I would recommend.
